Thanks for your note.
Unfortunately the type of applications I develop aren't suited to running
over the internet yet. As the users will most probably not have access. I
appreciate that for web application development, then .net is one way to go,
....and something to consider if I think that there is any chance I can make
my users go that route.
But to clarrify from the original question, I was trying to guage where the
current momentum is with regard to writing software to run locally under
Windows, on a rich client. As with traditional Windows Application software.
e.g. are win32 tools, such as VC++6, Delphi etc still prefered? over .net
for traditional Windows Applications.
Many thanks

Jim,
whats in a name? DotNet. Kinda implies a web-centric development
environment. We've got live clients on a hosted ERP/CRM/Financial system,
deployed purely as WebServices. All DotNet. Accessible via Rich Clients
(DotNet + anything that consumes WebServices), PDA's (yep - DotNet Compact
Framework), AJAX etc.
Your question was leading down a funny path. Our apps are Windows apps -
they look, feel and work like typical Windows Apps, but all the "logic"
and persistence resides on a WebServer somwehere in the ether.
None of this is really achievable without WebServices and DotNet in
general.
Cheers,
Radek

Cor,
Whilst trying to track down some answers to this question, I've seen the
question asked also, but not really found anything conclusive.
I suppose the underlying intention of the question is to see how well
.net is actually being adopted as "the" Windows Application development
enviroment, or if software houses are keeping with traditional Win32
tools.
I see lots of books and websites etc all devoted to.net, but as far as
mainstream applications go, I'm not aware of any that use .net. I'm
trying to try and work out who is using the framework for WinForms, and
to determine if the trend is for more and more .net applications, or
whether Win32 is still the more dominant Windows Application
environment. - Which is something that will help me to decide if it's
worth basing my next applications on .net or win32.
My thoughts were that if some of the bigger software houses were now
using .net, then the trend would seem to be leaning towards .net. But as
yet, I'm not sure.
Many thanks
Jim

Jim,,
This is very much asked and answered in this newsgroup, but can you give
us the main intention of this question. Often it leads to long trolling
threads.

With .net having been around for a while now, does anyone know what the
uptake of major software houses is in using .net for Windows
Application development? e.g. have the likes of Adobe, MS, Corel, etc
actually released any applications that use the framework?
